Collective redundancy: consultation and social plan
France and Switzerland impose distinct collective-redundancy and social-plan requirements. Define the actual project, workforce perimeter and relevant procedure before comparing information, proposals and responses. Collective consultation is not simply several individual dismissal letters. Preserve real dates and decisions; the timeline does not decide thresholds, approve a plan or certify the lawfulness of the operation.
